Vessel of Change

“Vessel of Change” is a video
installation by artist and filmmaker Bill Ferehawk, who also edited The Wende
Museum documentary “Collecting Fragments”, and multimedia designer David Hartwell. Ferehawk and Hartwell developed their video for the
museum, which playfully reinterprets the Malta Summit of December 1989 between
Presidents George Bush Sr. and Mikhail Gorbachev, symbolically sealing the end
of the Cold War. The summit took place on a ship in wild waters in front of the
harbor of Marsaxlokk. In this case, the museum becomes the ship that
metaphorically anchors the end of the Cold War in Los Angeles.
